Policy Six: Embrace nuclear energy as the primary alternative energy source to oil

I fucking hate posts like this.

Not enough information to know who you're referring/responding to, nor enough information to know what the fuck your post is about.

Why even post?

I honestly see no value in incentivizing marriage, though.
People are abandoning it because it fails so often. Marriage is basically a promise to eventually hate the other person.

Last I heard, the "marriages fail so often" were skewed by numerous remarriages. the number of people who get married once seemed relatively normal.

Also, are people actually abandoning marriage? I said this before - I know people are getting married *later* than prior decades, but are there really fewer people getting married?

Ayy, will update the list some time today. That will definitely be on it.

Advantages/disadvantages, and why I shouldn't prefer renewable energy instead.

It basically boils down to people being irrationally fearful of nuclear power; when a plant goes into meltdown, there's mass hysteria because anything with the word "nuclear" in it means "this will fuck you up if it fails". Just look at the 2011 "disaster" in Japan, where not a single person died. Compare this to the amount of people who have died in collapsing coal shafts or whatever.

In terms of efficiency and readiness, nuclear is currently positioned much better than renewable energy to supersede fossil fuels.

If someone could red pill me on nuclear energy real quick, that would be great.

Advantages/disadvantages, and why I shouldn't prefer renewable energy instead.

The infrastructure and technology for nuclear exists, and it is able to produce massive amounts of power.

While obviously renewable is the best energy source (Well, until Fusion is developed to provide more power than it uses), it simply isn't developed as of yet to make it viable to completely replace conventional power sources. Switching to nuclear won't last forever but it would buy time to allow us to develop renewable sources to be cheaper to produce.

Religion doesn't need to be taken out. If you're Religious. Go to a church, and get married. Otherwise, go to a court and get a it mad official there.

As for the other points...
One I'm not totally sure on. Number 2 is fine. 3 and 4 I agree. Something I'd like changed also is education. I can't speak for other countries so maybe you guys can help. But here in America, education is just... Dumb if you ask me. I graduated from high school 2 years ago. Throughout those 12 years of school they taught me almost nothing of value. Grammar and reading I can give them I suppose. And writing. But math? Not really. History and science I love, but again, most of it can't be applied to the real world. They need to stop focusing on test scores and focus on training people for jobs. If I want a job as a Software Engineer, should I be required to have a degree in Software Engineering or Computer Science? There's people out there without degrees who could accomplish far more than those with the degrees. Just saying. Which brings me to my ultimate point. If I go to College for a Computer Science Degree, I should be learning Computer Science. Not about George Washington. Train me the best you can, give me everything I need to do my job the absolute best I can. I should not have to sit through 2 years of "basic" classes. Think of it as a vocational school. If you want to be a Chef, you can go to Culinary school. What do you do there? Learn how to be a chef. Now of course, depending on your job, some things like History, Science, or Math may be necessary, and in that case, okay. Otherwise, cut the extra fat out in education, and teach me specially what I need to know for my job.

Yeah, I really think marriage is incentivized enough already. Strictly in terms of how much they hammer that shit into your head during childhood, it's up there with "don't do drugs" and "what do you want to be when you grow up?"

The pressure to find a partner in this country is extraordinarily high, and it's kinda sickening.

I can agree with this, even in britain. The look of shock on my parents' faces when I say I'd rather live alone than get married and have kids and shit is pretty disappointing. Especially when my father starts spouting the crap about 'continuing the family bloodline' as though we're a noble house of fucking westeros. Maybe its because I'm an only child, but it's still fucking stupid.

It's even worse when people treat it as "oh, it's just a phase and you'll grow up eventually!" And start being all condescending because apparently you're a silly willy little kid if you don't want to dedicate your life to someone else.

Tell your pap to go wank into a petri dish if he cares so much about his genes.
